Many months ago, I came to a fitness "fork in the road". I was completely unsatisfied with standard…read moregyms, having belonged to them for 20 yrs. My workouts were stagnate. After hours and hours of work and eating very healthily, I just wasn't seeing the results I wanted. I was considering hiring a personal trainer at my (old) gym but hesitated because they were all rather unseemly and I didn't want to have to spend much one-on-one time with any of them. Not when they seemed to think that my face was about 9 inches south of where it actually was whenever I talked to them. Family members had been talking up CrossFit for years and it had always fallen on deaf ears. "Blah blah blah ..CrossFit" I was completely turned off by just the thought. I had read plenty of people's anti-crossfit blogs and was quick to say "See, CrossFit is just a bad fad." Then there was the expense. But after looking at what I would be paying to hire one of those meathead trainers vs paying for a month's membership for CrossFit, it was actually considerably cheaper ($150/mo). What was the harm in trying? It can be hard to find if you don't know where you are going. 630 is located in the same large business complex as DeEtta's Bakery, but in one of the industrial buildings in back. Behind Naperville North HS's baseball field. I walked into this "box" at 630 and from the moment I stepped foot, I knew I'd never return to a standard gym again. No meatheads walking around pumping in front of mirrors. There were no women wearing makeup and jewelry, walking on treadmills while they watched TV and yacked on the phone(major, major pet-peeve). In fact, there were no treadmills at all. No TVs. No mirrors. No glitz. Just a few row machines, bar bells, pull-up bars, ropes, kettle bells, jump ropes etc... no fancy equipment. It felt like a nearly empty room comparatively. It wasn't empty though; it just lacked distractions. The people are supportive. They cheer you on. Give you high fives. Push you to do more. And they notice when you're not there. It's a community. The first week, I was doing things I'd never done before at standard gyms. And every day, there was a butt kicking workout (WOD) planned out for me. I just show up and do it. People are at all levels. From college age kids to retired individuals. It's literally for everyone. I'd always read stories about people trying to lift too much and then getting injured doing CrossFit. It was always one of the negatives I clung to before trying CF myself. That was not my experience here. They watch your form. Sometimes I'm told to increase my weights but sometimes I'm told my form is off because it's too heavy and to drop to a lower weight. Nobody wants anybody to get injured; nobody is being irresponsible with my health and wellbeing, but ultimately that is up to the participant. I love that there's no yearly contract to sign. No sign up fees. It's just your flat monthly charge. Once you sign up with them, you can pay online or make adjustments to your account. CrossFit ruined me from ever joining a regular gym ever again. I honestly find them to be completely repulsive now. I still keep a membership at a regular one, in case I want to have a run and the Chicago weather doesn't welcome it. I'll use an occasional treadmill, but walking into the standard gym always gives me an immediate reminder for why I'll never again be that girl who goes to spin classes, only working the same few muscles. It's all so mind-numbingly boring to me now. Boring, yet distracting. I don't miss the women in the locker room putting on make-up and perfume *before* they head out to the floor to pretend they are going to workout. Or people who are more concerned with how they look while they exercise rather than how they're performing. I don't miss working out with TVs surrounding me. And I certainly don't miss the spin classes where I had to listen to Nickelback!! Joining CrossFit 630, was the best decision I ever made.

This atmosphere, which has been cultivated by owners, staff, and area patrons, is difficult to replicate in a big-box, chain gym. Aside from the overall vibe, I like that the people at Elite are upfront with regard to their pricing. There are no guessing games. Their rates are listed on their Web site. They also offer a ten punch card so you can try out the gym before you make a commitment. Those who workout at Elite seem to be connected members of the local community. I find that the clientele is friendly, respectful, and fitness-focused. Lastly, the gym is located in a very cute area of Western Springs. There are several local businesses nearby that you can visit before or after a workout. It's also important to note that parking has never been an issue for me at Elite.

Rather than try to "review" CrossFit 1013, I would like to give my sincerest thanks for everything…read moreCrossFit 1013 has done for me and my wife. The owners, Norberto and Liliana, are amazing individuals who genuinely care about helping people be healthy and get in shape safely. I am constantly amazed at their abilities as trainers. In addition to Norberto and Liliana...Emilio, Carmella, Tom, Kelly, Tony, and Dean are also excellent trainers who add tremendous value to CrossFit 1013. Please visit: www.crossfit1013.com Just to give a bit of background as to why I joined CrossFit 1013. My wife had joined in September of 2012 and immediately I started to see the positive results. At 32 years old, I knew I needed to get in shape. I finally caved and went for a free trial class in November 2012. I couldn't finish the one hour program! I was ashamed of myself, but the trainers and everyone else in the class congratulated me for my effort. I signed up and started going once a week, then twice a week, and since June 2014 I go three or four times a week. By September 2013 I had lost a total of 55 lbs and dropped 6 pant sizes. I'm happy to report that the weight has stayed off. If you put in the work and effort you will be amazed by the results. What can you expect of CrossFit 1013? Classes are hands-on and last one hour. The trainers keep you moving from start to finish by giving clear, concise instruction, to make the workout efficiently challenging. Don't worry about not being able to do everything perfectly. The trainers will scale the movements of each workout to your level. Each class has no more than 12 students. Your class is your team...your unit. Everyone encourages and pushes one another to do their best. Expect to sweat and ache like never before. You will also find strength you never knew you possessed.

I've jumped from gym to gym trying out CrossFit and different facilities and now I've finally…read moredecided to settle down. CrossFit 1013 welcomes you with open arms. Norberto the owner/head trainer is very knowledgeable, humorous, and pushes you hard. I look forward to coming to CrossFit 1013, not only because I will get a butt kicking workout, but also know that if I'm struggling I will have 110% support, whether it's from complete CrossFit strangers or the trainers themselves. The atmosphere is not competitive, but it pushes you to want to get stronger, to want to be able to RX. People look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them I do CrossFit as my workout. I encourage everyone to try CrossFit because it can be modify to many different levels and over a period of time you'll notice you're getting stronger and soon enough it'll become an addiction. Maybe I need CrossFit rehab? Nay, I think not.

The gym is always clean. It has a good functional strength training area. There is a small balcony…read morearea with lighter weights, an adjustable cable machine that you can set up to work any body part, and medicine balls and ab chairs as well as stretching chair. This area is likely a hidden gem for people that want to use dumbbells from 5 to 20 lbs and not be in the free weight area that can be a little crowded with the "serious" lifters that people newer to a gym setting might find intimidating. Which they shouldn't, because despite the occasional intense looks most people are friendly and I bet would be willing to help a new person out. There are a lot of young people, like high school age, which can be annoying only in the sense that they sit on a piece of equipment and play on their phones for minutes at a time - often until you just politely ask them if you can work in. The gym has massage beds and a good selection of cardio equipment that users are pretty good about keeping clean and the staff get repaired in a timely fashion when maintenance inevitably is needed. Overall, the staff are very kind and friendly and although typically not sitting at the front desk they glance over now and then to see if anyone is there waiting for assistance or you can find them easily. They have helped me get the app to work for my check ins several times. The reason it's not 4 star is I could drive 1/2 mile east and go to LA Fitness which has a pool and basketball court. Which I often do.

I really like Reclaim because it has one of the best functional strength sections I've ever used in a gym. There are tons of weights, machines, free weights, and a huge functional training area with EVERYTHING you could need. Employees are nice. I love the idea that this place is open 24/7, not that I can stay up past like 10:00 anymore LOL. The gym is clean and seems to have a minimal amount of douchebags working out here. I would highly recommend this place if you're looking for a great workout with tons of good options. They just added an infrared sauna and I heard they're getting red light therapy beds, so that'll be fun to try too.

I was a member for about 6 months before moving, and I really do miss this place but it's just too far for me to keep going regularly. If I end up back in the Joliet area, I wouldn't think about joining any other gym. If you're thinking about checking it out, definitely do it.
